By the end of the summer of 1973 I thought it was virtually impossible for South Vietnam to survive. How in the heck could they?

It became very clear that Hanoi was in effect strategically running the Viet Cong operation.

This was a type of war that we'd had no experience with before. Some of our policies were kind of trial and error in character.

Television is an instrument which can paralyze this country.

I don't take criticism lying down.

I've made this statement many times: If I would have to do it over again, I would have made known the forthcoming Tet Offensive.

The last man in the world who should have been criticized was the American soldier. They should have criticized me.
